Dear Levin Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. If Steve is a reflection of his mother, then she must have been a wonderful woman. I can only hope that as the days and months pass by, that the sadness you feel now turns to a celebration of her life and a remembrance of all the joyful and warm memories you all had with her.
